How does the original Terranova stack up against 2 and 2.1? I have about a pound of it sitting around but don't want to waste it if it doesn't compare.

Thanks

Although it's been mentioned, it hasn't been stressed...make sure you use a cordless dremel as water and most power tools are not a good mix!

Just my $0.02....

I had two Airsep NewLife concentrators linked together and replaced them both with a ex-15. The ex-15 outperforms the 2 airseps combined.

I don't think it's color related as all three beads used different color transparents.

I'm thinking about sandblasting instead, but I'd hate to ruin the finish on the CZ. Anyone know how CZs hold...

Thanks, but I really want to etch the whole bead. The CZ itself doesn't etch in the etch-all. If I use glue as a resist around the CZ, I would end up with a shiny area around it and that's not what I...

Cracking around CZs after etching

No definite answer for you, but I will say that encasing DH seems to give me a 50/50 chance of cracking. I usually let my encased DH beads sit for a few weeks before doing anything with them to see...

No, but have you looked at the prices? Her glass is always discounted at a remarkably low rate no matter how much you buy. The prices are great already!

When I use to use a fiber blanket to cool my beads, I found that the more out-of-round/non-symmetrical the bead was, the more likely it was to crack. I'm not sure what the bead you are trying to make...
